U.S. - Brazil

April 10, 2012 - The FAA on Monday joined with the U.S.
Department of State, U.S. Trade and Development Agency
(USTDA), and the Transportation Security Administration
(TSA) together with Brazil's Ministry of External
Relations to announce the launch of the U.S., Brazil
Aviation Partnership.
The Aviation Partnership is a unique public-private partnership that is enhancing bilateral cooperation in areas such as airport expansion, airspace management, safety and security.
These programs will support Brazil's aviation
infrastructure development priorities, while connecting
U.S. companies to the growing business opportunities in
the sector.

The
launching of the Aviation Partnership during President
Rousseff's visit to the United States is timed to better
coordinate U.S. engagement with Brazil in the aviation sector.
As a result of rapidly increasing air traffic because of
Brazil's growing economy and the upcoming World Cup and Olympic
Games, Brazil is facing an urgent need to increase its
investments in aviation infrastructure in order to accommodate
the expected growth. U.S. companies are eager to connect to the
export opportunities created by these investments.
As the
first official activities under the Aviation Partnership, in
June 2012, USTDA will host a delegation of Brazilian aviation
officials on a reverse trade mission to the United States to
familiarize them with U.S. technologies, best practices, and
regulatory approaches for airports modernization.
In October 2012, USTDA will host a Latin American Aviation
Summit in Miami, Florida, to introduce hundreds of U.S.
aviation company representatives to aviation officials from
countries across Latin America, including Brazil.
